Nose

The result is a wine that is intensely concentrated with expressive aromas of ripe cassis, blackberry and blueberry.

Palate

This fine wine finishes with smooth, well integrated oak flavors and medium to full tannins.

Growing Conditions

The growing season of 2008 produced smaller-than-normal berries and fewer clusters per vine. As such, our yields were almost half of normal.

Aging

Aged for 20 months in barrels of 100% French oak
